What is ETAPS?

The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS) is a loose and open confederation of existing and new
conferences and other events which is the primary European forum for
academic and industrial researchers working on topics relating to
Software Science. Founded in 1998, it is an annual meeting covering a
wide range of topics in Software Science which will take place in
Europe each spring.

The venue

ETAPS'99 will be held in Amsterdam,
the capital of The Netherlands since the early 19th century, but with a
rich history dating back to the early 14th century. Amsterdam is now the
economic, cultural, and social centre of a region of about 2 million people.
It was one of the most important European trade cities in the 17th century,
when the Netherlands played a predominant polical and cultural role in
Europe.

The venue chosen for ETAPS is the
Royal Tropical Institute on the border of Amsterdam's city centre.
The Institute is a national museum, featuring permanent and temporary
exhibitions of all aspects of life in tropical countries.

The Royal Tropical Institute has excellent public transport
connections to the city centre (tramways 9 and 14).
